I don't think people for decades gave Nimoy enough credit as an actor. He had to play a guy with emotions every week while doing his best to not show emotion, but it's always there from exasperation to an urge to throw a zinger McCoy's way, the way he was really uncomfortable with his father and how he really didn't want his mother to hate him, and so on. We know he must be good because no actor since him and ML have gotten vulcans right. They all talked like robots, but Vulcans are not robots at all. It's no accident Spock could be a candidate for the pop culture Mt Rushmore, and is Trek's mascot and icon the way Mickey is for Disney. BS did a great job, but LN had the harder role I think clearly.

Josh, I just finished your Brent Spiner live post. Near the end you mentioned that you have a particular affinity for werewolves. I share that with you. I have been listening to Dogman Encounters for about 5 years. Like everything else, not all stories are great or even good, but the really good ones are, arguably, better than just about anything on TV or in the movies. These are purported to be true stories. You might give these a listen when driving, when you lie down to sleep or whenever you just need something a little different.

My working theory is that Quark and Odo are the main characters on DA9

TOS never said when Chekov joined the crew. We just started seeing him in season two. Hiring an actor is not the same thing as starting the entire history of a character.

I agree. He is a better interviewer in my opinion

A better interview, in my opinion, is the one Spiner did fairly recently with Michael Rosenbaum on his Inside of You show.
